MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–SentinelOne, the autonomous cybersecurity platform company, today announced the appointment of Chuck Fontana as Senior Vice President of Corporate and Business Development. Mr. Fontana will lead SentinelOne’s business and corporate (M&A) development functions, supporting the company on its journey as the world’s next great cybersecurity platform.

“Our journey from startup to an iconic platform company requires proactively driving the evolution of our business with and through other technology leaders,” said Nicholas Warner, COO, SentinelOne. “Chuck has established himself as a visionary in scaling business and corporate development initiatives during phases of rapid growth. We look forward to him playing a key role in helping us stay one step ahead of the ever-evolving threat landscape while shaping and disrupting multiple categories.”

Mr. Fontana brings over 20 years of experience in business and corporate development. Prior to joining SentinelOne Mr. Fontana was at Okta Inc., leading business and corporate development from their Series C through their successful IPO, and most recently leading their ecosystem of strategic partnerships and integrations as Vice President of the Okta Integration Network. During his time at Okta, Mr. Fontana led strategic partnerships with AWS, Google, Citrix, VMWare, ServiceNow, and many others, building out Okta’s highly successful partner ecosystem and go-to-market program.

“SentinelOne is emerging as a category-leading cybersecurity platform with immense opportunities for technology partners,” said Fontana. “I’ve watched SentinelOne be the first to consolidate EPP and EDR and continue to innovate, delivering a platform encompassing IoT security and CWPP offerings. With more than 300 APIs, SentinelOne’s Singularity platform is highly differentiated in the breadth and depth of its integration capabilities. It’s a tremendous opportunity to join at such a pivotal time – helping enterprises liberate themselves from difficult to manage products, which are ineffective against modern day cyber-attacks.”
